Eels table mammoth four-year deal for Rabbitohs star

https://www.smh.com.au/sport/nrl/eels-table-mammoth-four-year-deal-for-rabbitohs-star-20251210-p5nmci.html

Parramatta have tabled Keaon Koloamatangi a monster four-year offer in a bid to prise the representative forward out of South Sydney.

The Roosters are also monitoring the situation, given forward Angus Crichton is off contract and considering a switch to rugby at the end of next season. Perth also inquired about 27-year-old Koloamatangi’s plans, but were told he wants to remain in Sydney.

However, the Eels are shaping as a genuine threat to South Sydney’s bid to retain the former NSW and Tonga star. Sources not authorised to speak publicly told this masthead the Eels have weighed in with a four-year offer worth seven figures a season.

Parramatta officials, including coach Jason Ryles, have met with Koloamatangi and his manager.

  • I am looking forward to reading how shit he is and how he's the wrong fit for Ryles plans , when he re-signs with Souths or accepts a Roosters deal alongside Tino 😂

    • From who?

    • It's definitely on the cards 😂😂

  • We're definitely being used in a bidding war by Keon's manager - but if we do come out on top this would be an excellent signing for the club.

    It still sounds like Souths are in the box seat so I'm not suggesting we remake the site banner just yet. Fingers crossed though!!

    • If south's really wanted to keep Keoan, why did they go and spend on Fifita ? Bit of a slap in the face for him tbh. I think we'll land our guy 

    • Put in our calendar and he surely will not be playing with us - we have not had a calendar with current players the last few years lol

  • Koloamatagi has stated max money won't be the major factor its who is on the verge of a premiership. Dragons ain't. Souths have a good side but cody is getting old and humphreys isn't the greatest 7. Latrell is inconsistent. Parra still isn't quite there atm. I'd say he either stays at souths or goes to the roosters. Don't be suprised if csnterbury swoop in late and get him.

    • Seriously how tf can dogs afford him?

      • They are the new roosters
